Abstract

On the cover

Barley plants inoculated with GFP-expressing Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) to visualize virus replication and dynamics for understanding resistance mechanisms. GFP fluorescence of the susceptible cultivar ‘New Golden’ at 6 weeks post-inoculation of BaYMV pathotype V. Images are of leaves (upper) and roots (bottom) under white light (left) and UV light using a long-pass filter (right). Under UV light, GFP fluorescence was detected in the upper leaves and lateral roots (This issue, p. 484–490).
